Some Airmen May Have Landed In Manchuria

PANMUNJOM, (CP) A lied newspaper man admitted Friday the Communists did not turn over all prisoners wanting to go home during the big exchange which ended last Sunday

Wilfred Burchett. Australian born correspondent of the French Communist newspaper 1'1-lumanite, said the Reds still hold double jet ace Capt. Harold Fischer and some other captured filers among the nearly 3,500 prisoners for which the UN, command. has demanded an accounting. The list includes three Canadians.

First Red Admission Burohett. making the first aid- mission by the Reds that they withheld some prisoners against their will, said Fischer and an un- disclosed number of other fliers were held back because the Reds contended they were shot. down over Manchuria and thus were not war prisoners.

It is the Red contention that China as a nation was not in the Korean War-but only Chinese Red "volunteers;" that Manehuria, as I part of China, was a privileged sanctuary. Burchett, talking the U. S. corres- pondenta at Panmunjom. paid it thus might be necessary for nego- tiations "though diplomatic chan- nels" to effect release of such men as Fischer. ,

Fischer, of Sioux City, In, with 10 MIG kills to his credit, was last seen April it of this year in a battle with a MIG near the Yalu River.

Spurs Speculation Burchettls report, supporting previous ,Red.broadcasts that Fis- s'.lle:,..lg alive. spurred speculation as' to havV”'rnany other. prisoners the Reds are holding boek.. One released air force man last week brought out a report that the Communists planned to force U. S. recognition of Red China by interning 22 U. S. fliers.

Legislative Authority

. During the session of the Prov. incial Legislature last spring a ”sum sufficient” was voted to en- able the Government. to proceed with its proposed electrification program.

The subject has been a matter of election platforms for the past ten years as rural users of elec- tricity increased rapidly and him- dreds of other would-be users made requests for the service. The number of rural users jumped 31- most five fold in only eight years, In 1944 there were 1.413 users supplied from the Maritime Eltc. tric plant in this malty, hut, py 1952 the toal had risen 01,944.

Private In eslment

The Maritime Electric Company advised the Government that it felt it could not get enough money to expand further as private in- vesiors apparently were not in- terested in putting their funds into tiie company for rural ex- pansion. The Summerside plant also had asked the Government for a. loan to enable it to proceed with its extension.
